Empowering Women through Media Literacy

My niche and passion lie in Health and Wellness Reporting, encompassing the physical, mental, and spiritual. I’m currently focused on issues surrounding women’s body image, particularly as it affects marginalized populations. I hold a master’s degree in Communication and Information sciences from the University of Alabama, and I am currently working on dual second master’s degrees in Organizational Leadership and Health Education at UA.

My portfolio showcases my ability to write with color, imagery, and detail, and to convey the feelings and realities of the people and topics I cover.

I am adept at scholarly research, content development, interviewing, proofreading, and copy editing. I also leverage my skills in social media communications to amplify the impact and reach of my stories. My mission is to build strong, healthy lives together through story.

I am available for freelance writing opportunities. Please contact me at carmenshea@gmail.com!
